Default stuck F bushing

On my fuselage it calls for inserting an F bushing to drill a pilot #30 hole through the spar into the land gear support. After a few holes the drill bit became stuck in the F bushing. Using another F bushing, I used machine oil on the drill bit and cleaned out the metal shavings 1/2 way through the hole. However, I have a drill bit stuck in one F bushing. Any ideas how to extract the stuck drill bit.

Chuck up the bushing in one drill, the drill bit in another drill. Using your helper, turn each drill counter clockwise. If all else fails, buy a new drill bit and bushing.
